Applications That Provide Communication Solutions for Remote Workers
Collaboration doesn’t have to suffer because you’re not in the office working alongside one another.
- Do you worry about whether or not your remote team members are communicating as thoroughly as they need to?
- Do you struggle to track progress on important projects and/or tasks because everyone is working from home?
- Do you feel like everything is getting done a little bit slower because files, documents, and updates aren’t as easily shared now?
You’ve heard all about the benefits of remote work – greater productivity, fewer costs, happier team members. But maybe you’re not noticing those benefits and you’re feeling a bit concerned. Does this sound accurate? If so, you’re not alone. A lot of business owners struggle once they start embracing remote work because things start slipping up, they can’t get ahold of their team, and overall, it’s the absolute opposite of the efficient remote workforce they thought they’d have.

Remote Team Communication: What Comes Up Most
Our remote team feels slower. What tools actually fix that?
A mix of Microsoft 365 with Teams, Zoom, Slack, and a cloud-based phone system is what Uprite recommends, because the right combination of applications is what brings productivity back to a remote workforce. No one tool suffices. The aim is a team that stays productive, efficient, and secure.
What does Microsoft Teams give us beyond chat?
Teams is the collaboration hub inside Microsoft 365 that keeps people, tools, and content connected, and it lets you schedule and host video conference calls, share documents, and edit files together in real time. Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint come in the same subscription.
Zoom or Slack: does a team need both?
They solve different problems. Zoom covers company-wide video conferences, training, one-on-one meetings, and webinars, and it integrates with Dropbox, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook. Slack brings your team into one place with video, audio, instant messaging, and channels that centralize files, tools, and people. Choose by workflow.
Can a cloud phone system really replace the office line?
VoIP lets you make and receive calls over the internet through the cloud, using your work line from any device or location while transferring, holding, and more. Features such as find-me-follow-me, music-on-hold, and voicemail-to-email come for a fraction of the price. Location stops mattering.
